business lifetime voting record of 94%. The owner of North Country Tractor,

expanding his business for fear of triggering Obamacare penalties and fines.

questions from the press.

the NFIB SAFE Trust, NFIB’s political action committee. Surveys show that
small business owners are influential in their communities and NFIB will
encourage its members to help turn out the small-business vote for Scott
Brown on Election Day.
